Abstract

ABSTRACTSince 1996 the World Bank Institute and the Research Department of
the World Bank have been developing six governance indicators called
the Worldwide Governance Indicators (WGI). The six dimensions of
governance include control of corruption, measuring perceptions on
corruption. Based on the literature review as well as the data
itself, this paper concludes that the conceptual and empirical
issues on building governance indicators constitute an ongoing
project.
